An ice cream product sold at stores like Target and Wegmans is being recalled for an undeclared allergen, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Mochi Ice Cream Company is recalling 1,350 cases of Peach Mango Sorbet. The frozen treat may contain undeclared pasteurized cooked egg white. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The product was distributed to retail stores nationwide.
The item can be identified by the My Mochi brand and the flavor of Peach Mango. The product is in an orange, six-count box weighing 7.5 ounces, in the freezer section with lots of 337-24 & 341-24 marked on the box.
There have been two reports of minor allergic response, according to the FDA notice.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing pasteurized egg white was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the egg white. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s packaging processes, according to the FDA notice.
Consumers who have purchased My Mochi Peach Mango Sorbet with lots 337-24 & 341-24 are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 1-844-696-6244.
